Why Fans Think Kim Kardashian Is Dating Mert Alas

Kim Kardashian recently sparked dating rumors after posting a series of photos from a SKIMS event on Instagram. Among family snapshots, one image with a mystery man caught fans’ attention and quickly went viral.

Here’s what fans uncovered about the photo, Mert Alas, and the growing buzz around Kim Kardashian’s dating life.

Is Kim Kardashian dating Mert Alas?

Kim Kardashian is not confirmed to be dating Mert Alas.

The rumors began after Kardashian posted a series of Instagram photos from a SKIMS event, including a black-and-white photo booth strip featuring herself and a man later identified as Mert Alas. Fans speculated about the man’s identity, with one comment reading, “KIMBERLY WHO IS THAT MAN????” and another adding, “Just here for the detectives to tell me who the man is.”

Internet sleuths and Reddit users identified the man as Mert Alas, a celebrity photographer and one-half of the duo Mert & Marcus. He has worked with stars like Demi Moore, Kate Moss, Donatella Versace, Ariana Grande, Madonna, and Zendaya. Kardashian and Alas have appeared together in public before, and she has featured him on her social media.

In the SKIMS event photo carousel, Kardashian included pictures with three of her four children. However, the photo strip with Alas drew the most attention. She captioned the post as a “family night,” which led fans to believe there was a romantic involvement. Despite ongoing speculation, no official source has confirmed a relationship.

This speculation follows Kardashian’s previous low-key fling with Odell Beckham Jr. from late 2023 to early 2024 and her past relationship with Pete Davidson from 2021 to 2022. In late 2023, Us Weekly reported that she had “started dating someone new” but was “keeping it very under wraps.” A source also stated Kardashian once said “the next person she dates will be someone who isn’t famous.”

The dating rumors emerged amid recent backlash from Kardashian’s ex-husband Kanye West. In an April 2025 interview with DJ Akademiks, West expressed regret about their past and made offensive remarks, saying he regrets getting her pregnant.
